[0001] TITLE OF THE INVENTION

[0002] A SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE FUEL ENHANCEMENT WITH HYDROOXYGEN PERFORMANCE ENHANCER

[0003] FILED OF INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates to a system for sustainable fuel enhancement with hydro-oxygen performance in all sorts of engines and method of use thereof. More specifically, the present invention provides a system for Internal combustion (IC) engines wherein the inline hydrogen-oxygen gas is produced from electrolysis of water and introduced to an airstream of engine for enhancement of hydrocarbon based combustion fuel therein. The fuel specifically hydrocarbon like petrol, diesel, natural gas. This innovative and sustainable system helps to increase the mileage of vehicle and also helps carbon cleaning in the engine. The aim of this innovation of this system is to install the system in various types of engines for effectiveness in enhancing engine performance, reducing emissions, and improving fuel efficiency.

[0005] BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION

[0006] India consumes approximately 19.72 million metric tons (4.98 million barrels) of fuel per day. This consumption is not only limited to transportation sector but also includes marine, fertilizers, agriculture, etc. Both petrol (gasoline) and diesel have drawbacks related to cost, fuel efficiency and environmental impact. Petrol engines tend to be less fuel-efficient and produce more CO2, while diesel engines can be more expensive to purchase and maintain, and can also produce higher levels of NOx.

[0007] Several technologies and products aim to address similar challenges, but they often come with limitations:

[0008] Alternative fuel sources for all such applications include natural gas, propane, wood alcohol, hydrogen fuel cells, and electricity. Recently, the hydrogen storage fuel cells have got attention to reduce the carbon footprint. Wherein, the Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen gas to generate electricity that powers an electric motor. The hydrogen is then stored in high-pressure tanks and used in a fuel cell to react with oxygen from the air, producing electricity, heat, and water vapor. But Fuel cells have limitations of space constrains. Also, hydrogen storage is little risky. Even after lots of precautions still it is like carrying a hydrogen bomb.

[0009] Further, the addition of a mixture of hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) to the fuel system of an internal combustion engine is known to improve fuel efficiency and decrease the emission of undesired pollutants like CO2 and CO. However, hydrogen is a flammable gas that is potentially explosive. Accordingly, the utilization of hydrogen cylinder in any applications must be undertaken with caution.

[0010] Hydrogen Fuel Cells: While hydrogen fuel cells offer clean energy solutions, they require storage of pressurized hydrogen gas, posing safety risks and increasing payload. Additionally, infrastructure for hydrogen re-fueling is limited, hindering widespread adoption.

[0011] Fuel Additives: Some fuel additives claim to enhance engine performance and reduce emissions. However, their effectiveness may vary, and they often focus solely on fuel combustion rather than optimizing the air-fuel mixture.

[0012] Carbon Capture Technologies: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies aim to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion. However, CCS systems are complex, expensive to implement, and may not address other engine-related issues like fuel efficiency or engine deposits.

[0013] Therefore, there is need to develop a safe and effective system for increasing the performance of fuel along with economic benefit. Therefore, the present inventors have developed a novel and improved system called HYDRO - OXYGEN PERFORMANCE ENHANCER (HOPE) for generation of hydrogen-Oxygen gas using water hydrolysis and introduced in the air filter along with atmospheric oxygen for fuel saving. The present invention is suitable for engine utilizing any fuel such as petrol, diesel, natural gas etc. These fuels are a hydrocarbon in which hydrogen bums and carbon is a residue. This hydrogen oxygen fuel enhancer adds hydrogen and oxygen (both in gaseous states) to fuel.

[0014] According to present invention, the system is particularly pertinent to the not only the automotive industry but also it is a boon for any industry which uses fuel in India, where the demand for transportation and the environmental impact of emissions are significant issues. However, its benefits extend beyond automotive applications to various sectors reliant on internal combustion engines, including power generation, agriculture, and marine transportation.

[0059] Figure no. 4 shows a cross-section view of present invention Hydrogen-Oxygen Performance enhancer system (100). Wherein outer box (6) and lid (8) is enclosing the hydrogen-oxygen gas generating electrolysis cell comprising a bowl (5) to store mixture of water and an electrolyte, stack of electrode (22) are arranged and submerged in an electrolyte solution to facilitate electrolysis. The temperature of electrolysis cell is maintained and controlled by a loop of coil tube (10) surrounding the entire outside wall of bowl (5), wherein the tube is packed with heat-absorbing fluid. The bowl threaded lid (1) is tightly fitted on the bowl to avoid spilling of electrolysis fluid and having gas outlet (11) and electrolysis fluid refill inlet (13) which can be temporally open during filling process. The extended nuts (18) of respective electrodes are suitably accessed outside of the bowl threaded lid (1) for connection with circuit.

[0065] In one of the implementations, the present invention discloses a method for generation of hydrogen-oxygen gas in hydrogen-oxygen performance enhancer system (100) for sustainable fuel enhancement in motor vehicle. The method includes addition of electrolyte solution in a closed bowl (5) from a solution inlet (13) and connecting a gas outlet (11) to bubbler (7) and pure gas outlet (12) to the engine air filter. The possible heat generated in bowl (5) will be absorbed by the heat-absorbing fluid circulating in coil tube (10). Wherein, the coil is interconnected loop in vertical direction and completely filled with said fluid i.e. refrigerant, that will provide natural circulation during heating and cooling phase. Internal circulation of refrigerant in a coil due to density differences, is a process where the density of fluid changes as it heats up, causing it to circulate within the coil. As fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, leading to the formation of convection currents. The less dense, hotter fluid rises, while the denser, cooler fluid sinks, creating a continuous flow within the tube. Further, the heat absorbed by fluid will be withdrawn by the air circulation effect provided by plurality of Peltier fans (9). Accordingly, the bowl (5) will remain at the ambient temperature when in running state.

[0066] In one embodiment, the system (100) further comprises a pressure relief valve and a temperature sensor. These components are configured to monitor and control the pressure and temperature inside the electrolysis cell, ensuring operational safety by preventing overpressure conditions and overheating during sustained engine operation.

[0067] In another embodiment, the system includes an integrated electronic control circuit. The circuit is configured to dynamically regulate the electrical current supplied to the electrolysis electrodes based on real-time engine load and internal system temperature. This feedback-based control helps maintain optimal gas generation while protecting the system from electrical and thermal stress.

[0068] The system (100) is also designed to be modular and scalable, making it adaptable for installation across a wide range of internal combustion engine sizes and vehicle or equipment types.

[0069] The method includes providing current to the respective electrode ranging and peltier module from 12 to 48 V using Switched Mode Power Supply. Wherein using DC current directly or AC converted to DC through SMPS converter. Further, the refilling of electrolyte solution cell and water in bubbler is done periodically. In another embodiment, the power supply to the hydrogen-oxygen performance enhancer system (100) may originate from an alternating current (AC) source, such as mains electricity, particularly in stationary applications like generator sets. In such cases, a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is configured between the AC source and the system to convert the input to regulated DC voltage, typically between 12V to 48V. The SMPS ensures consistent voltage and current delivery to the electrolysis cell and Peltier cooling fans. This embodiment is represented in Figure 8B.
